This will cause issues with matching, possible dosage, and "TRANSMIT TO CMOP" values for these drugs. In order to correct these issues patch PSN*4.0*505 should be installed immediately after this patch, before attempting to rematch these drugs. ************************************************************************* This patch provides updates to data in several of the files associated with the National Drug File (NDF) application. This patch generates four mail messages. All are sent from NDF MANAGER to members of the NDF DATA mail group, holders of the PSNMGR security key, and the person installing the patch. The first message, with the subject DATA UPDATE FOR NDF, lists new products, CMOP ID (if one exists), dispense units, and associated NDCs, products for which the national formulary indicator has changed, products that have been unmatched from CMOP, products for which the national formulary restriction has changed, and products for which the copay tier has changed. The second, with the subject UPDATED INTERACTIONS, lists interactions that have been added, edited, or inactivated. The third, with the subject DRUGS UNMATCHED FROM NATIONAL DRUG FILE, lists entries in the DRUG file (#50) which have been unmatched from NDF. The fourth, with the subject INTERACTIONS and ALLERGIES UPDATED, lists interactions and allergies which have been changed because they were created with ingredients that are no longer primary ingredients. **ATTENTION: CMOP SITES ONLY** Do not load and install or queue to install this patch while Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) prescriptions are being transmitted. If transmissions are in progress, incorrect prescription information may be sent to the CMOP. To determine if a CMOP transmission is in progress, examine TaskMan for jobs entitled "CMOP Data Transmission".
